Chapter 224: Taking Hades as a Disciple

Chapter 224 Taking Hades as a Disciple

Looking at Zhou Chen kneeling before him, Qin Xuan felt that something was off about the young man.

He found it somewhat pleasing to the eye, yet for some inexplicable reason, something about it made him feel uncomfortable.

There was nothing he could do; he was in the Mingyue Dynasty, so he had to eat and take things as he pleased.

He's enjoyed all the benefits, yet Empress Mingyue still treats him with such disdain.

If he still doesn't agree, then it's not just being silly, it's courting disaster.

Interests are mutual.

Empress Mingyue tolerated him in every way because she felt she could profit from him.

The interests are multifaceted, and these are what Empress Mingyue cares about.

For example, let this immature Hades get rid of the Heart Demon and become powerful so that he can inherit the throne of the Mingyue Dynasty in the future.

He raised his hand towards Zhou Chen and said, "Get up."

Zhou Chen stood up, bowed respectfully, and said, "Thank you, Master Qin."

At the same time, the System notification sounded in my mind again.

【Host Takes in Child of Luck】 Zhou Chen, the host is rewarded with +100,000 Villain points!

Upon hearing the cold, mechanical voice, Qin Xuan suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder I find Zhou Chen so pleasing to the eye, yet I subconsciously feel annoyed with him.

So it turns out this kid is a Child of Luck!

Their identities are completely opposite, so they're naturally going to clash.

However, he always felt that there was something wrong with the way Zhou Chen was looking at him.

Child of Luck probably won't have a gay character.

So, is this Child of Luck his little fanboy, someone who idolizes him?

Qin Xuan temporarily put all that aside and turned to look at Ning Waner, who was kneeling on the ground. He spread his hands and looked helpless. "There's nothing I can do. You heard it too. I'm not so willing to be this royal tutor, but Her Majesty the Empress is so kind to me and has done me a great favor. The King of the Underworld even performed this grand ceremony of apprenticeship in public. If I don't agree, I'll seem a bit ungrateful."

Creak!

Ning Waner nearly shattered her silver teeth by biting them into pieces.

Qin Xuan agreed, which shows he knows what's good for him.

But why does he look so irritating?

You're just deliberately showing off in front of her to make her unhappy, right?

Empress Mingyue glanced at Ning Waner and said reassuringly, "Waner, you don't need to worry about this. With Master Qin's guidance, Xiao Chen will surely be able to get rid of the Heart Demon and make even greater progress!"

Ning Waner insisted on Dao, saying, " Your Majesty, I am willing to accompany Your Highness back to the Underworld Princes Mansion, and on Cultivate Dao, I am also able to provide appropriate guidance!"

She just thinks Qin Xuan is unreliable!

His personality is too extreme.

What kind of good apprentices can he teach?

Corrupting Your Highness is tantamount to destroying the future foundation of the Mingyue Dynasty!

Empress Mingyue frowned slightly. "My mind is made up."

Qin Xuan interjected at the opportune moment, saying, " Your Majesty, since Ning Waner is willing to teach, it won't do Hades any harm. Moreover, she is a Quasi-Emperor Realm expert, well-read, and has a broad perspective, which will only benefit Hades. Let her teach as well, it won't hurt."

He just loved seeing Ning Waner annoyed with him but unable to do anything about it.

Moreover, the more setbacks this Daughter of Luck suffers, the more villain points he gains.

These days, which villain complains about having too many villain points?

Having Ning Waner by your side is like raising a big, fat sheep.

You can fleece Ning Waner anytime, anywhere.

Why not?

Empress Mingyue nodded, "Since I have entrusted Xiao Chen to you, I will follow your instructions on how to teach him!"

To elaborate further, Empress Mingyue, citing the need to rest, issued an order for the guests to leave.

Qin Xuan, Zhou Chen, and Ning Waner boarded the carriage together and hurried back to Underworld Princes Mansion from the Inner Court of the Underworld.

Outside the carriage, a man holding a book in one hand and a pen in the other was writing something on the booklet with his head down.

Qin Xuan lowered the carriage curtain, shifted her gaze back inside, and looked at Zhou Chen sitting in the middle, asking curiously, "What is that guy writing?"

Zhou Chen raised his youthful face and answered every question, replying to Dao, "That's a historian, recording my every word and deed, compiling them into a book so that it can be passed down and circulated among people in the future."

Ning Waner, seated on the far right, crossed his arms over his ample bosom, leaned back slightly against the inner wall of the carriage, glanced at Qin Xuan, and scoffed, " Your Highness is the future ruler appointed by Her Majesty the Empress. Every word and action of yours represents royal authority and must be recorded!"

"You, as the son of the King of Qin, don't even understand this?"

Qin Xuan shook his head dismissively, "So, he's just recording history? And he's the only one writing it?"

He nodded meaningfully, "Then I guess I understand a little."

Seeing that Qin Xuan didn't care about his sarcasm at all, Ning Waner didn't bother to waste any more words, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.

The spacious carriage, while not luxurious, was large enough that there was enough room to place a desk between the three people.

The desk was covered with all sorts of fruits and some sweet-smelling Heaven and Earth Treasure.

Qin Xuan leaned back, his left foot crossed over his right, resting on the desk, facing Ning Waner's face.

He picked up a Heaven and Earth Treasure fruit that looked like a snake fruit from afar, took a bite, and chewed it casually. While savoring it, he glanced at Zhou Chen and asked Dao, "I always feel that there's something wrong with the way you look at me. You're so young, yet you've already started to like men?"

Ning Waner, who was meditating with his eyes closed, widened his eyes in shock upon hearing this and exclaimed in annoyance, "What nonsense are you spouting!?"

"Did I even talk to you? Why are you interrupting?" Qin Xuan rolled her eyes irritably. "You like interrupting so much? Can I interrupt you from now on?"

Hades quickly stopped the two from arguing and respectfully addressed Qin Xuan, " Master Qin, you misunderstand. Your disciple has no such inclination."

Qin Xuan said "Oh," and then exclaimed, "So you admire me?"

“Indeed!” Zhou Chen’s youthful face flushed with heat as he nodded intently. “ Master Qin’s actions occurred within the Ziyang Empire and had not yet reached the Mingyue Dynasty. Yet, I have already heard of Master Qin’s deeds from my sister! In a fit of rage, to avenge my grandfather, Master Qin, you created a legend, slaughtering the entire Butian Holy Land with the body of a Heavenly Human Realm. Killing the Saint King Realm was like cutting melons and vegetables. Even the Holy Master of Butian, who possessed the Quasi-Emperor Realm, died tragically at your hands, Master Qin.”

A gentleman's word is as good as his bond; he keeps his word and does what he says!

"Even Your Highness, the Crown Prince of the Ziyang Empire, was driven to flee in terror by Master Qin, and dared not confront you head-on!"

"Fearless of power, they dared to wage war against the Ziyang Imperial Family, who were proud of their shared power, and even managed to overpower them and escape unscathed!"

"Moreover, I heard from my sister that you had already secretly guessed that she would come to your rescue before this happened."

"Everything was part of your plan. My sister says you are incredibly shrewd, with a profound and far-reaching strategy, meticulously planning every step. Such strategic planning is unparalleled throughout history!"

Zhou Chen became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes burning with an increasingly intense passion.

Standing in front of Qin Xuan was like a devoted fan meeting his idol.

His admiration was so intense that it was impossible to contain and was evident in his words.

As he spoke, Zhou Chen's voice began to change, his mood becoming somber, and he murmured to himself, "If only I could be like Master Qin, then..."

Zhou Chen's voice grew weaker and weaker until there was no sound at all, leaving him alone, staring blankly.

Qin Xuan seized the opportunity and asked Dao, "A mental illness requires a mental cure. Her Majesty the Empress only told me that you are deeply affected by the Heart Demon, but she never mentioned what you have experienced. If you want to get rid of this torment and let me prescribe the right medicine, you must at least tell me what happened."

Zhou Chen looked up, and the fervor in his eyes dimmed considerably.

He wanted to answer, to tell Qin Xuan, to tell his Master.

However, the words stuck in my throat, as if something was choking me.

I couldn't utter a sound no matter what I did.

Seeing this, Ning Waner's face turned bitter, and she spoke softly, " Whenever Your Highness mentions this matter, he becomes speechless. In fact, this matter is not a secret; many people know it. When Your Highness was young..."

"Enough!"

Qin Xuan quickly raised his hand to stop him, glancing sideways at Ning Waner and saying with displeasure, "Why are you interrupting again? Are you addicted to interrupting?"

Ning Waner Qi shouted angrily, "Didn't you ask?"

"Did I ask you? Do you need to tell me?"

"Okay, I won't tell, I won't tell, alright!"

Ning Waner crossed his arms and leaned irritably against the inside of the carriage, puffing out his cheeks as he exhaled clear breath.

As a powerful Quasi-Emperor Realm, she used to be so indifferent to Heavenly Human Realms like Qin Xuan, who could kneel before her mansion for three years straight, begging for guidance.

Instead, Qin Xuan refused to listen to her and went against her in every way!

So she won't say anything, is that not enough?

From now on, if Qin Xuan wants to know anything, he shouldn't expect her to utter a single word!

“You told yourself to shut up.” Qin Xuan pointed at Ning Waner’s high ponytail. “Control your reins, so you don’t keep swaying in front of me and making me dizzy.”

Ning Waner opened his mouth, but then ignored him.

Qin Xuan looked away and patted Zhou Chen on the shoulder. "Since you don't want to talk about it now, I won't force you."

He changed the subject abruptly, saying with disdain, "But you are, after all, a prince of the Mingyue Dynasty. Your cultivation level is only Supernatural Realm. Isn't that a bit too weak?"

Ning Waner instinctively wanted to explain, but remembering her previous promise, she glared at Qin Xuan resentfully and shut her mouth.

A hint of shame appeared in Zhou Chen's innocent eyes. He raised his eyes and earnestly said, " Master Qin, actually, I was already a Supernatural Realm when I was ten years old. It's just that my sister sealed me for many years before, and only recently did she unseal me. That's why my cultivation hasn't improved at all. Give me some time, and I will definitely be able to catch up with my peers!"

"Where would I get so much time for you? The King of the Underworld of the Mingyue Dynasty, the future ruler of the world appointed by Her Majesty the Empress, and the first Disciple I, Qin Xuan, have only reached the Supernatural Realm level. If you didn't feel ashamed, I, as the Master, would feel ashamed!"

" Breakthrough! We must break through!" Realm!

" Supernatural Realm is too weak. I can't take him out at all. If people see him, they'll think I don't know how to teach apprentices!"

Qin Xuan retrieved many of the Heaven and Earth Treasures needed for Breakthrough from the ancient prison-suppressing tower.

The leader of them was the one who obtained Breakthrough from Third Prince. Medicinal Pill.

This stuff comes in large quantities and works quickly.

This is enough to elevate Zhou Chen, the creator of Supernatural Realm, to Quasi-Saint Realm!

Of course, he also has other good things, something even more precious.

For example, the sacred bracelet that was forcibly torn off Crown Prince Ziyang's arm.

This storage bracelet alone is of High Grade. Sacred Artifact, not to mention the amazing stuff inside.

However, he simply took out the True Dragon Eyes and placed them inside the ancient prison-suppressing tower, allowing them to evolve into the sun and moon.

He didn't even look at the rest, let alone touch them.

This is like opening a blind box; his luck was n't bad, but it wasn't like he had any cheat codes either.

Now that he has reached the territory of the Mingyue Dynasty, it won't be long before news of his presence there spreads like wildfire.

How could Little Koi possibly turn a blind eye at that time?

They will surely come looking for him.

Let Little Koi be the lucky one Wouldn't it greatly increase the chances of getting gold from blind boxes if Heaven-Defying's Daughter of Luck opened them with him?

There's no immediate danger to their lives, and they can maximize their profits, so why rush things?

Qin Xuan sorted the dazzling array of Medicinal Pills and Heaven and Earth Treasures that were used to enhance cultivation into piles.

Pointing to the Medicinal Pill on the desk, he nodded at Zhou Chen and urged Dao, "These are all good things for improving Realm. As your Master, I didn't prepare any gifts, so consider these your welcoming gift. Choose whatever you want, swallow them, and your Realm will improve!"

"I'd be proud to show my face in public if I took her out!"

Zhou Chen hesitated for a moment, then his youthful face finally softened, and his gaze hardened.

As he raised his hand toward the Medicinal Pill, an invisible barrier blocked his palm.

Ning Waner, who had been keeping his eyes closed and silent, finally couldn't hold back any longer at this moment.

This is insane!

Qin Xuan has gone completely mad!

He actually attempted to use the Medicinal Pill to forcibly enhance the power of Your Highness.

The key question is, why did Your Highness agree almost without hesitation?

"Are you crazy? Qin Xuan, I think you're courting death!" Ning Waner Qi's beautiful eyes widened in annoyance, her small fists clenched tightly, and she glared at Qin Xuan with fury, shouting, "Do you know who's sitting in front of you?"

"He is Hades, the future ruler of the Mingyue Dynasty, and the future emperor of the Mingyue Dynasty!"

" The worst thing for a cultist is to be impatient. A tall building starts from the ground up. Without a solid foundation and steady progress, how can one possibly understand the Emperor Realm?!"

"In the vast Ziyang Empire, the Crown Prince of the Ziyang Imperial Family, and all the other princes, were worried that Realm was improving too quickly, which is why they created such a special royal tribute as the Reverse River Pill!"

"The purpose is to ensure that the royal princes make steady progress in Cultivate, lay a solid foundation, and have hope for the future to crack the Emperor Realm!"

"Now that you've just become the king's advisor, instead of thinking about laying a solid foundation for Your Highness, you actually made him take the Medicinal Pill, forcibly breaking through his realm and making him break through to the Quasi-Saint Realm!"

Once Hades Your Highness If the Realm is unstable and the Foundation is flawed, and you miss the opportunity to uncover the Emperor Realm, even a hundred lives wouldn't be enough to pay off the debt!

Qin Xuan, unfazed, pointed at Ning Waner's mouth with a playful expression, "You interrupted again."

Well……

This was a matter of great importance, and even Ning Waner hadn't expected that Qin Xuan would care about this very thing.

It made her choke.

Swallowing hard, Ning Waner snapped angrily, "I'm not joking with you! Put away your Medicinal Pill! If it makes Hades Your Highness..." If the foundation is unstable, both of us will be guilty of a colossal sin that leads to our demise!

"How do you know, Dao, that taking these Medicinal Pills will definitely destabilize your foundation?" Qin Xuan rolled her eyes. "Look at me, is my foundation stable or unstable?"

Ning Waner was too lazy to argue with him.

Of course, she also had to admit the truth.

Qin Xuan is the most stable person in terms of foundation among all the practitioners she has met!

wrong!

None of the Mingyue Dynasty people, or any of the Prodigies she had ever met, could compare to Qin Xuan.

The Heavenly Human Realm possessed an immense inner power, almost comparable to that of Saint Realm. Peak remains unchanged!

Crucially, Qin Xuan is also proficient in two precious techniques.

Heavenly Human Realm could probably fight Saint King Realm!

Shocking and unbelievable!

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Qin Xuan asked with a smile. "Is n't my personal experience enough to refute your empty theories?"

Ning Waner asked incredulously, "You ingested these forced breakthroughs?" Realm's big drug?

These powerful medicines are treasures, great medicines, and opportunities for ordinary cultivators!

But for Hades and the princes of the Ziyang Imperial Family, as well as the Prodigy, it was poison.

There will be a limit.

How could a monster as powerful as Qin Xuan possibly devour it?!

Qin Xuan shrugged nonchalantly, "Swallow it!"

He lies without batting an eye.

He has indeed never taken any of those powerful drugs that forcibly boost Realm.

However, whether he swallowed it or not, surely he knows it in his heart?

No matter how awesome or knowledgeable Ning Waner is.

Even if he's making excuses about his own actions, how could they possibly be overturned?
